I had the same problem until I realized that bookmarks are more or less pointless, especially without context or additional information.
Most of the time I used bookmarks to either "read it later" or to "look it up again". In both cases I often desperately tried to find a specific bookmark in a collection of unsorted crap. After organizing them into topics / folders / subfolders, it worked a bit better, but I still had the same problem: How to find the one piece of information I'm looking for in a whole bunch of unsorted content? And what if that has changed or become unavailable somehow (except via archive.org).
These days I use a knowledge collection (flatnotes, but Notion, Obsidian or Logseq would work just fine). If a bookmark is only short content (let's say an interesting git solution or a quick fix for something), I immedeately "extract" this piece of information into my knowledge base in a well organized markdown with headlines including a reference to the URL. If it is a "read later" thing, I invest at least 2 Minutes to write a short summary (2 sentences), what the article is about and what I expect it to help my with.
This has proven to work MUCH better to organize "bookmarks" and informational content. Bookmarks are just for backup now.
